Unsurprisingly, the second set of Steam sales during this five-day-long promotion in which a bunch of new deals are activated each day is another attention grabber.
The $50 uber THQ collection that I mentioned last time is still available, and I still think you should purchase it. As for the limited-time-only stuff, there's Left 4 Dead 2 for $37.49, Knights of the Old Republic for $2.49, and Dead Space for $14.99.
There are a few more to pick from, but those were the select ones that really stand out in my mind. Also, there's Majesty 2, which is a lowly $9.99. I think I'm going to get that, for sure. Is that a wise idea, anyone who's played it?

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Seriously, $15 spent so far on Mass Effect, Team Fortress 2, and Kotor, combined.
That's awesome.
I bought it on Steam anyway.
Why? It's $2.49. Plus, the game seems like it would be more tolerable and interesting on PC. (I hate the combat system, plus I think the quite linear story gets boring after one or two playthroughs.) The somewhat slow-paced gameplay seems like it would go better with a mouse and keyboard. Plus, I mean, $2.49.
You're welcome.
Day three COME ON DOWN!
This was the game that made my pc cry, and made me buy a ps3 while it was 250 last xmas.
they 'say' Processor: 2.8 GHz or faster
but as i found out - they are lying. For AMD you need a dual core.
my athlon3200 wouldn't launch the game - just black screened.
EA and steam said 'tough'
Also, buy friggin' KOTOR if you don't own it already.
I LOVE STEAM.
Man has that game not aged well. The graphics remind me of N64 crap and the controls are insanely horrible.
*sigh* at least it was only $2.50. I'll play it eventually I suppose.
Also was thinking about getting Dead Space, but I am seduced on buying a retail version of Counter-Strike: Source instead as it includes Day of Defeat: Source as well (though I'd prefer an actual retail version of that individual game as well)
Anyway, totally getting KotOR, I'm deciding on Majesty, but I'll pass on L4D2, I'll wait for the next sale...
Still hoping for Torchilight (yes, I'm cheap :D)
If the controls bother you it might be the PC arrow style, which you can change to a more standard WASD setup in the options menu.
As for graphics I highly suggest you go to www.widescreengamingforum.com to get the game running in widescreen and with an HD HUD.
Remember people, PC games means tweaks, especially on older stuff, to get the optimal experience.
I'm hoping for World of Goo cause I missed like 3 massive sales. LOL.
Yeah I bought Kotor today for £1.74, and then I enabled console cheats and used a save game editor. Having never played it on PC I found the ability to make Carth into Saul and Bastilla into Malak hilarious.
It does.
That's like a present for them right?
You could have got it for $33 if you did the the 4-pack, which is even cheaper, so... whatev.
Totally getting kotor!
I would be miffed about L4D2, but BILL'S HAT.
